FIGS. 3–9 are shown broken away to indicate indeterminate length and for convenience of illustration.

The broken lines showing the buckles, slides, zipper, zipper teeth and the stitch tacks and snap hooks at either end of the zipper fastener are for illustrative purposes only and form no part of the claimed design.

The article in which the present design is embodied is a compact yet expandable pouch, formed from a single piece of elastic fabric and having pleats in the back. When empty, the pouch is preferably approximately the same width and thickness as the belt holding the pouch in place, and yet the pouch's width and thickness (and thus its internal volume) can expand up to 300–400% or more to hold larger items or a large number of small items. 

I claim the ornamental design for the expandable pouch combined with belt, as shown and described.
